A few more pictures of Baba, the Russian Gypsy – and a few from the making of Baba – because she’s the next one lined up for a gig.

She’s going to appear in her own booth at Playgroup festival – come and get your fortune told, ask the pendulum a question, see her levitate objects, or get her to do voodoo (for love only) on your behalf.

Daisy Jordan divised, directed and produced this puppet play, based on the French folk tale, Valentine and Orson. As part of a team of 6 puppeteers I animated the bear and the foot soldier, sometimes with the power of two people per puppet.
